Four patients are presented with small bowel infarction secondary to a vascular arteritis. In three patients there was a history of rheumatoid arthritis. In each patient infarcted bowel was resected and a primary anastomosis performed. In one patient the anastomosis broke down and she subsequently died. One patient died from a disseminated rectal tumour three years later. The remaining patients remain well. If operated on early, intestinal infarction due to arteritis has a good prognosis.

Takayasu Arteritis Complicated by Superior Mesenteric Artery Stenosis and Bilateral Renal Arteritis: A Clinical Case Report.

Takayasu arteritis (TA), a rare large-vessel vasculitis, primarily affects women of childbearing age, causing granulomatous inflammation in the aorta and its major branches. This inflammation can lead to stenosis, aneurysms, or occlusion, with the abdominal aorta, subclavian, and brachial arteries commonly involved. We present the case of a 26-year-old female with TA with a rare involvement of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA).

Article Synopsis
- Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a type of vasculitis that causes inflammation of medium to small arteries, potentially affecting multiple organs, including the testes.
- Angiography can be used as a diagnostic method instead of tissue biopsy or surgery.
- This text discusses a case where angiographic findings show involvement of the testicular arteries in PAN, which has not been reported in previous studies.

Background: Severe hypertension in young patients presents a significant diagnostic dilemma, and treatment can often be codified. Therefore, it is crucial to diagnose these cases for probable secondary hypertension. Common causes of secondary hypertension include large vessel vasculitis, renal artery stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, and endocrine disorders.

Objective: To explore the value of treatment choice and clinical prognosis for Riolan's arch in chronic superior mesenteric artery (SMA) ischaemic disease in vascular surgery.
Methods: The clinical data of 215 patients with SMA ischaemic disease (41 cases with Riolan's arch and 174 cases without) admitted to the Department of Vascular Surgery, Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing University (China) from January 2019 to April 2023 were reviewed. Clinical characteristics, imaging findings, treatment, perioperative complications, and patient follow-up data were analysed to observe the impact of Riolan's arch on the prognosis of patients with SMA ischaemic disease.
